Features
Stress Response enhances the body’s physiologic response
to stress. Stress is defined as any situation or condition that
causes undue physical, emotional and/or mental strain on the
body. When one experiences stress, in any form, the adrenal
glands secrete specific hormones that have a profound effect
on the body. One can imagine the adrenal glands as little “hats”
that sit on top of the kidneys. These hats secrete hormones
such as cortisol and DHEA in response to stress. Over time, as
one experiences stress on a daily basis, the adrenal glands can
function less optimally, secreting unhealthy levels of these
stress-related hormones. Overworking of the adrenal glands
can lead to something called adrenal stress. Nervousness, poor
memory, difficulty with concentration and decision-making,
cravings for sweets, weight gain and compromised sleep are
all associated with failure to maintain healthy levels of these
two hormones.
The Stress Response formula can have a profound influence on
the body, helping to maintain a healthy response to stress by
supporting the adrenal glands and nourishing the nervous
system. Select herbs within the formula contain compounds
recognized for their ability to support the health and function of
the adrenal glands and maintaining normal secretion levels of
key stress-related hormones such as cortisol.*
Rhodiola rosea root supports the functioning of the adrenal
glands and encourages a healthy response to physical,
emotional and mental stress by normalizing cortisol levels and
other stress-related hormones. If used regularly, it enhances
the body’s natural resistance and adaptation to stressful
influences. Rhodiola rosea root is classified as an adaptogen,
which represents a class of herbs that help the body adapt to
stresses of various kinds. In order to achieve this classification,
a plant must be harmless and must have a normalizing, broadspectrum
action that supports homeostasis, particularly when
under stressful influences.*
Holy Basil has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to support
a healthy response to stress, nourish the mind and elevate the
spirit. Revered by Ayurvedic practitioners as “the incomparable
one,” this herb’s documented actions on the body date back
thousands of years. Today, we know that holy basil contains a
variety of constituents, including eugenol, camphor,
caryophyllene, ursolic acid, luteolin and apigenin that function
collectively to normalize stress hormones and enhance adrenal
function. The properties inherent in this herb make it ideally
suited for helping to support a healthy adrenal system and
stress response.*
Ashwaghanda, often referred to as “Indian Ginseng,” is a
common herb used in Ayurvedic medicine (from India) to
support mental and physical vitality and stamina. It contains
steroidal compounds and additional chemical constituents that
advance the body’s natural resistance and adaptation to
stressful influences. Ashwaghanda also supports mental
endurance, promotes total metabolic efficiency and
encourages an overall sense of well-being.*
Schizandra berries provide powerful antioxidant protection,
particularly from free radicals and other toxins in the
environment that may cause cellular damage. Regarded as a
popular adaptogenic agent, schizandra berries are unique in
that they hold a remarkable blend of five distinct flavor
properties collectively serving to promote overall health and
vitality. Namely, bitter, sweet, sour, salty and hot. Schizandra
berries function to enhance the body’s natural resistance and
adaptation to stressful influences, support mental endurance
and promote overall metabolic efficiency.*
Wild Oats milky seed contains numerous compounds that
promote a vital nervous system while working to ease
temporary nervous stress, weakness, and exhaustion.*
